Erosion from Garden State Parkway Tree cutting

[dogg57]

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP — The Garden State Parkway tree-clearing project has left stumps, bare earth and mud along the roadway, as well as what may be immediate erosion issues.
Engineers familiar with the project say erosion is occurring and should be expected any time trees and cover is removed, but they also believe the N.J. Turnpike Authority, which administers the parkway, is addressing the issue. A tree-planting program is expected to begin next week.

A tree-planting program is expected to begin next week.

They are providing in advance for future generations of tree-cutters.

When I lived in upstate NY the electric company had crews to cut tree limbs that grew over the power lines. I noticed that they didn't really do a very thorough job, and a friend who knew a number of people involved just laughed and said this was intentional, because they would otherwise be out of a job.
